Session information

Breakout session 3 – The era of compliance and how this has been dealt in Latin America

Description

In recent years, the field of compliance in Latin America has evolved. Corruption scandals have led to significant regulatory reforms, and compliance requirements related to anti-corruption and anti-money laundering have increased. As a result, compliance advisory services are becoming more relevant and necessary across various legal practices and client activities. This panel will address the challenges and opportunities that compliance practices represent for firms in Latin America and explore the key services offered, including due diligence, reputation analysis, integrity system implementation and internal investigations of corruption cases. We will review the importance of law firms providing specialised and cross-functional compliance services to their clients.
